I promised to meet with Alice's best friend, discussed my schedule, and then broke up.Alice had a subtle expression on her face until the end, but I was looking forward to meeting Alice's best friend.

I greeted the day with anxiety and expectation, and I went to Alice's grocery store.

"... we were talking about the grocery store, but where's your best friend?"

"Ah ~ I feel like I'm headed to where my best friend is."Due to a few circumstances, I can't come here... do you want to move? "

While Alice said that, she took out the palm-sized gear and put it in the air... The gear was sucked into a space where there was nothing, and the light immediately opened up like a door running into the space.

It was a strange sight, but I'm not surprised at the entrance to the space.It was similar when I went to see Mr. Gratney.

When I stepped into the gap of the space without paying any particular attention, my vision was dyed white for a moment, and I noticed that I was in a pure white space.

Even when I turned around, there was no gap, and I felt like I was standing in a wide space.

When I looked around, there was nothing but gear floating around... but, to be honest, I recognized it.I mean, for the first time since I got here, I could understand why Alice felt so subtle.

After me, I turn to Alice, who appears in this space, and I tell her with a subtle face.

"...... Alice, I see why you looked like that."

Huh?

"I see, your best friend... is it about Machina-san..."

"Huh? Huh? Have I met you...?"

Yes, I remembered the moment I came to this space.Makina-san, the god of the world I once lived in, is the main body that moves Eden-san... I also remember now that she's Alice's best friend.

Alice had that look on her face.That's Eden's inside, so I know how to hesitate to let her see you.

"... whether I've met you or talked to you several times in my dreams..."

"I see, that girl... she was already in contact."But now that you've said it... does it feel like you can't recall it outside of this space? "

Exactly, I completely forgot about Makina-san.

”I see... you must be taking measures against Sharovanal”

As expected of Alice, she nodded as she was convinced of the information in a short conversation.

Immediately after that, something sounded like a fanfare, and a sign in the air with a giant neon saying "Welcome" appeared and emitted light.

Almost at the same time, a friendly girl appeared in front of the sign and opened her hands as if to bang them with a full smile.

"Alice, my child, welcome! I've been waiting for you!!"

……

This is awesome. I feel a lot more tense than this.In my dreams, I seemed to be restraining myself from being noticed by Shiro-san, but now that we're meeting in person, what do you say?"If you run like Eden, it's pretty horrible..."

When I thought about it, Alice approached Tskatsuka and Makina-san... and slammed a chop into their forehead.

"It hurts!? What? Why!?"

No, it seemed like the tension was going up.

"Huh? When you raise the tension, will I be chopped? Isn't that irrational?"

Hmm, what is it?I'm starting to feel okay... why?With Alice, I feel that Makina-san feels rather flat, or mentally calm.

Is it because he's my best friend?

"Sharap... you've moved a lot more boldly this time."Is it okay to sign a contract with Master Sharovanal? "

When I hear Alice's words, I have doubts in my head.Speaking of which, in my dreams, if Shiro-san noticed, I think he said it was bad, or what happened to the grey zone, but is it okay to meet me in person like this now?

"That's all right, let's negotiate... finally, finally!"I convinced you to bring my child here with the promise of "just one minute"! "

"...... Isn't one minute passed already?"

"It's okay, my child... 'No matter how long you spend here, it'll only take you a minute over there', you can stay with me as long as you like!!"

……

Is that an ant?After that, I only felt chilly about the second half of the dialogue, so let's say I didn't ask.

"... you've been around for a long time... I can see how hard Charovanal is struggling."I mean, even though you went out with Mr. Kite the other day, are you still not satisfied? "

"Wait, Alice... it's a misunderstanding.This time, I didn't have any bad feelings, and I invited my child and Alice to spend a little time with me with that kind of pure feeling.Of course I love my kid!I want to peer! But the main purpose of this time is not that, it's purer.... "

"Huh... so, what's the truth?"

"It's sloppy! Sharovanal will manage to spend some time with my child at the festival, right?"I could hardly be with my son at the Six Kings Festival!!This is unfair! I also want to enjoy the festival with my child!! "

"... my lust is not Max..."

... I wonder if my majesty as a god is enough?Well, after all, if it's a set with Alice... I'm starting to feel fine.
